I've shot two. One classic carbon in 300 wsm and one Ridgeline in 26 nosler. Both shot sub moa at 200 yds.
They are expensive but I guess you get what you pay for. They are obviously geared to the mountain hunter but the AL deer won't know that.

What I hear is some drive tacks and some don't and if they don't they are jerks in customer service. Bout the same as most. I've heard some good things, now i have read a few reviews about their CS not being worth a damn, that's kinda discouraging
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

What was their complaint The one I'm familiar with in particular either had the scope base holes drilled out of line or the barrel was not straight in the receiver. We swapped multiple sets and types of base/ ring combos and 3 different scopes and ran out of wind age trying to boresight it every time

They've had several of them brought back in because they wouldn't shoot worth a damn, especially for a rifle in that price range.

I am going to get the same gun for an elk rifle at some point, but Christensen, Kimber, Montana Rifle, etc.
Some shoot great some not so much but hey.... it ain't a Weatherby so what do you expect?

I have seen rifles from Montana, Remington, Savage, Ruger, and Winchester with the scope holes drilled out of square with the receiver. If someone tells me they are out of windage, that's the first thing I check.
Not sure how they get out of the factory, but they occasionally do.
I've seen a Weatherby done this way also. First tried Talley mounts and ran out of windage adjustment trying to sight it in. Closest I could get was 2" right of target and had to switch to windage adjustable mounts.

Y'all just need to get a couple three Ruger American's each and be done with it. You'll be able to out shoot a Tikka Fanboy 8 days a week. What more do you need? Besides maybe a stock without sharp enough to cut your finger edges.....

Besides maybe a stock without sharp enough to cut your finger edges..... I know the Ruger American rifles are accurate and a great value. BUT they look cheap, they feel cheap and they have very little appeal to me. Savage rifles have always had a good reputation for accuracy, but I ain't buying one cause they're so damn fugly.

In all seriousness I saw a Ruger American in one of those Bell and Carlson Stocks they came out with...... and I don't know how it shot after swapping but it looked about 1,000 times better. Ruger is going to have to do something about that stock.... what a insanely accurate POS stock that is. All they have to do is round a few edges in the mold... I mean dam. I've got one American and the stock around the trigger guard would cut your finger until I filed it down a little. Rifle will shoot under MOA easily.
Remington needs to poach some of Ruger's management. They so good at making less expensive guns they have about put everyone else out of business. In the race to the bottom.... Ruger is #1 without a doubt.
